I think we have to keep in mind agristarts must TC thousands of plants and that is why they are so cheap per plant, economy of scale and all that.

If you're talking about a few TC plants to sell to hobbyists like us then it has to be the cost of the equipment and chemicals plus your time which will be considerable.

It has to be in the region of 7 - 10 euros/pounds/dollars per plant. I'd be willing to pay that for something rare like a musa rubinea or similar. :-)
